Poor family mother and son

Chapter 461 I Have It

In addition to worrying about the drought, Song Tingshan also had another hidden worry: Jishun Mansion is not far from Xinlun Prefecture, and locusts may fly there at any time.

These are all disasters, and, after the catastrophe, there is a catastrophe, and there is not much relief money that the state government can raise.

"No way!" Song Tingshan sighed.

"I have!" Chu Qing said.

Song Tingshan's eyes lit up: Is the "boy who spreads money" going to pay?

Bai Hua curled her lips: This prodigal bitch, do you want to pay for it yourself?

Chu Qing said: "It doesn't cost so much to get rid of the filth and disease, just use lime."

The light in Song Tingshan's eyes dimmed: "Isn't lime more expensive than mugwort leaves?!"

Compared with lime, wormwood is easier to get, especially in this month, it can be seen almost everywhere, on roadsides, fields, and forests.

However, turning the ubiquitous wormwood into medicinal materials requires not only the simple cleaning work of collecting, removing impurities, and sifting ash, but also has different processing methods according to different functions, such as vinegar, honey, wine, roasting, etc. Wait.

There are even different requirements in terms of age. For example, moxa used for moxibustion, three-year-old moxa is the best, so there are folk proverbs: "There are three-year-old moxa in the family, but doctors don't use it", "Seven-year disease, Ask for three years of Ai."

So why are the medicines in pharmacies expensive?It is the high cost of processing, time-consuming and labor-intensive consumables.

Another example is lime, which is sold in pharmacies. Other medicinal materials are priced in units of money and taels. Lime is priced by the catty, which seems to be cheaper.

But in fact, lime is relatively heavy, not much per catty, and the processing cost is not lower than that of wormwood.

Someone needs to mine limestone, and a kiln is needed for calcination to produce lime. In other words, if your home doesn’t have a kiln, you really can’t process it, but can you build a kiln just to make a few sacks of lime?

So in this way, lime is actually more difficult to obtain than wormwood, and it costs more to use.

Chu Qing said: "If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it! I support Lime and provide the service of renting spray barrels."

What Chu Qing said had three meanings, and Song Tingshan immediately recognized it:
[-]. If one party is in trouble, all parties support it. Song Tingshan can mobilize rich people to "support", and Chu Qing can set an example and provide lime;

[-]. The spray bucket, it seems that the lime is not simply spreading the powder as he thought, but also needs to be "sprayed";
[-]. To provide rental services, to support clearly and clearly, but also to make money.

Song Tingshan smiled bitterly: "Is your rent expensive?"

Bai Hua also asked: "Isn't it enough to sprinkle lime on the ground? Why use a spray bucket? What is a spray bucket?"

There are really misunderstandings about how to use quicklime. Even in Chuqing’s world, people would sprinkle lime powder in the pigsty for disinfection, but it would cause the pigs to eat quicklime and burn the mouth and digestive tract, or the pig’s hoof would be cracked. , skin burns, etc.

Chu Qing said: "Lime itself does not have the effect of eliminating filth and disease, it needs to be mixed with lime powder and water, and the heat generated by them and the slaked lime transformed into it will be effective;

There are two kinds of spray barrels I'm talking about, one is for spraying water and the other is for spraying powder;

You also said just now that lime is also very expensive, so people sprinkle lime powder directly on the ground, thick and thin, one is wasteful, the other is that it will burn poultry, and the third is that it cannot get it on the wall;

Therefore, the lime powder can be evenly sprayed on the ground with a spray bucket, and then turned into slaked lime evenly by spraying water. In addition, the common people need to adjust the lime to become lime milk to brush the wall surface;
Well, add one part of lime to one part of water to make a paste, then add eight parts of water to make lime milk. Remember to take care of your skin when mixing to avoid burns. "

Song Tingshan: "Even the walls have to be painted? Then do you have so much lime?"

Chu Qing still said: "I have!"

Chu Qing has a blast furnace, and to make iron, he needs to add lime as a flux, so Chu Qing simply built a lime kiln to produce quicklime himself to reduce costs.

And quicklime is sometimes taken by the boys and mixed into the soil to increase the calcium content of the farmland. There are also a lot of warehouses and warehouses everywhere, which are used as desiccants.

Although there is no king in the world, the products on the mountain are not only large-scale mining of various types of mines, like Chu Qing, who is backed by the mountain, looking for a place to cut trees but found limestone, so he went to dig some every two days, the emperor also I don't know, no one cared, but Chu Qing's "petty theft" was fulfilled.

It is clear that in that world, colleagues who pick up small change will not give it to the police uncle, but will add some money to ask everyone to "sell the stolen goods".

Picking up money is a happy thing, and adding some treats by yourself can be regarded as "miniature team building".

So Chu Qing also had the same idea, anyway, it was "white" limestone, let's "sell the stolen goods" together.

Chu Qing added: "As for my spray can, I'll show you later. If you think it's useful, you can rent it. We don't buy or sell by force."

Song Tingshan was helpless: "Are you renting or selling?"

Chu Qing touched his nose: "If you spend money, you can rent it. If someone looks good and wants to buy it, you can introduce and recommend it to me."

Song Tingshan thought about it, Chu Qing could make money in it, he should also make something, so he said: "You can't let you pay for nothing, so many families, villages and villages are plagued by the plague, and you pay lime alone How much does it cost!

In this way, you give me a thousand catties of lime for free, and then I will issue a notice that the state government can only provide this, and only support poor households. Others need it and can buy it with money, but your price cannot be higher than that of grocery stores. "

The price of lime in the grocery store is [-]% lower than that in the pharmacy, Song Tingshan means that Chu Qing's price is even lower.

It’s true that you don’t need a heavy hammer to play the drum, Chu Qing didn’t intend to give it for free, but just put it nicely.

If Song Tingshan really didn't mention the money, then Chu Qing would find another place to cheat him to earn a fortune, and let him understand what "the wool comes from the sheep".

But Song Tingshan is smoother than Chuqing after all, and he speaks beautifully. I want you a thousand catties, and I will sponsor the rest to help you make money. Anyway, there are many rich people in Xinlunzhou.

In this way, Song Tingshan also borrowed a thousand catties of lime from Chu Qing to earn a good reputation for himself: which state government and government government will give things to the people for nothing?

Bai Hua thought of something at this time, and reminded, "I heard that many officials' property in the south of the Yangtze River was stolen and sold on the spot to buy food for disaster relief."

This is also the way to get money.

Song Tingshan also thought of this, but the "chicken and duck plague case" has not yet been finalized, and it is uncertain whether the family property of those nobles can be copied.

Moreover, even if they sold it on the spot for disaster relief like Jiangnan did, they would have to wait until the Ministry of Punishments received a receipt, which would have exceeded the "within ten days" deadline set by the emperor.

But... Song Tingshan thought badly: wool can still be squeezed.

These old aristocrats must be in a state of anxiety now, and maybe they still want to find a way to manage it. This oily water is worth scratching.

Use their money to buy Chuqing's lime, show their political achievements, and make a profit together.
